I cloned my partitions from a HDD to a SSD. It worked fine. But to my surprise it also clone the disc UUIDs. By choosing the drive priority order I get the right boot partition, but it then seems to mount the HDD partitions in Linux. If I disconnect the old drive then it boots completely from the new drive.
Ok, I can choose to not use UUIDs, but that has worked like a charm so far.
At least for a while I'd like to keep the old drive as it is. In case I have messed something up. Then I can generate new UUIDs.
Or should I generate new UUIDs for the new drive now?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You should generate new UUIDs. All partitions would be uniquely defined then.
"It is designed so that collisions are unlikely."
Make a look for https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UUID#by-uuid
too.
